As it is rumored that the Advocate will soon issue a work entitled "A Primer of Suggestions for the Young," on various subjects of interest to freshmen, the following may be of some use as a supplement to the suggestions for examinations in the last issue of that paper :
SUGGESTIONS FOR WALKING.N. B. These hints are not authoritative, and do not refer to any particular kind of walking. They apply to instructors as well as to freshmen.
1. Have your boots blacked early.
2. Start out fresh to be able to walk straight.
3. Before beginning your walk, decide which of the many alternative paths in the yard you will take.
4. If you are doubtful of the direction of a path, apply to the superintendent of the yard or to Mr. J-n-s.
5. Walk upright. Congress boots are much preferred.
6. Walk in an easy, graceful style. Do not be afraid, put your feet firmly on the ground.
7. Arrange your walk systematically.
8. Walk in such a way as readily to catch the eye of your friends.
9. A short walk well executed, is better than a long walk poorly executed. A long walk, however, well executed, is better than either.
10. To walk well less stress must be laid on the heel of the boot than on the toe. Do not attend too closely to details. The faculty of walking can, however, be based only on a previous study of details.
11. Have a walk of your own and use it. If it differs materially from the views expressed above, be able to state the ground of your dissent.
12. After walking a few minutes, rest an hour, and do the same at the end of the second few minutes.
13. If it is a wet day be sure to dry your feet, even though you have not finished the morning paper.
H., '84.
